Patch Notes - October 2024 - 1.8.2



Changes inspired by our community!

[h2]Major Features[/h2]

    [hr][/hr]
  • New room ""Cursed Telescope"": This room can appear as a reward option alongside other rooms starting in world 2, 3, or 4. Inside, you'll find a cursed version of the Telescope from the hub, offering a perk tied to a Malus, which adds a temporary negative effect to the player. The Malus is lifted once you reach Andromeda's bar, leaving only the perk behind.
